Youth programme
The Plein Theater in Amsterdam East regularly offers a vibrant and varied program for children, mostly on Sunday afternoons. From exciting adventures to intimate dance performances and theater with puppetry; there is something for everyone. A surprising cultural outing for family and friends! Before and after the performances, side programs are often organized, such as a workshop or craft table.
Children and youngsters also have the opportunity to develop creatively as a theater and sound maker within the Plein Theater.
On Wednesday afternoons we give theater lessons to children from 6 to 12 years old, where they work together with fellow students and an experienced theater maker/teacher towards a final presentation in our theater. And every year, we create a performance together with youngsters from Amsterdam East for Theater Na de Dam, which is presented on May 4 and 5 in or around the Plein Theater.
From March 2025 we will start with music lessons, which will be offered prior to the concerts of Nieuwe Noten Amsterdam. Lessons are taught in composing and performing contemporary compositions. The workshops are open to everyone, from curious beginners to advanced musicians, youngsters (12+) and adults.
The youth theater performances can be found on this website in the agenda. Keep an eye on our website or sign up for the youth newsletter that is sent every two months.
